Advantage of Shuttleless loom over shuttle loom

Salient feature of Shuttleless looms: 1. Shuttleless weave 2 to 4 times as much as conventional looms per unit time. 2. The cost of pirn winding is eliminated 3. Strain upon the warp threads is reduced due to smaller depth of shed 4. Heavy cost of repairs and replenishment of worn out parts is reduced They can produce simpler tubes of fabrics on a large scale and provide opportunities for profitable exploitation in the long run. 5. The physical and mental strain upon the weaver is reduced 6. There is no risk of shuttle fly out owing to the absence of conventional shuttle and packing being positive 7. Quality of the fabric gets enhanced because of a positive control over the weaving process 8. The looms are easier to work and manipulate 9. Efficiency of the shuttle weaving shed is comparatively higher 10. 5% reduction in value loss for a Rs. 60/- Metre fabric would ensure an additional profit of Rs. 3/- meter 11. Higher production per loom 12. Speed is not the only criterion for the selection of shuttleless looms. Efficiency is also an important criterion.Efficiency advantage of 10-15% due to shuttle changes, Un weaving of damages, reduced time for warp changes canbe obtained from shuttleless looms. 5% higher efficiency would provide an additional profit of Rs. 1/- per metre. 13. 14 minutes stoppage per 24 hours. 14. Ex works cost is less due to less mending and inspection charges and no pirn winding charges. 15. Projectile and Air-jet looms suitable for Mass fabrics Rapier for fashion fabrics
